The president of the United States, Donald Trump, has joined the criticism of his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, against the president of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenski, in which they recriminate him Not being a Democratic leader not having summoned elections and governing thanks to a martial law.
Given this situation, the Ukrainian President He has asked Trump to leave Russian misinformation behind And he explained the reasons why new elections have not yet been celebrated. “Unfortunately, President Trump, with all the due respect for him as the leader of a nation to which we respect a lot … is caught in this bubble of misinformation, “Zelenski lamented, who added that he would like to show his truth to the American team.
There are different reasons why new elections have not yet been held. First – and fundamentally – because the country is mired a martial law, which prevents the celebration of elections both at the presidential level and in Parliament. In addition, in the hypothetical case that they wanted to be carried out, the air attacks would prevent it, since it would be a risk to citizens who came to the polls and would imply that the voters of the eastern areas were deprived of their right to vote in front of the inhabitants of the west zone (where the offensive activity is lower).
Another reasons why elections would now be unfeasible is that, due to the war situation and after the massive displacement of citizens, There is no recent update of the National Voting Registry. In fact, even in a situation of high fire, “there is a broad political consensus that there should not House “And I suspect that the martial law will not rise quickly if a fire is signed, due to the fears that Russians can break it at any time,” he adds.
Finally, although not least, it should be noted that To the first one that would favor the celebration of new elections would be Putin, Well, in addition to being able to overthrow Zelenski, he could place his puppet, as with Belarus. “They want a divided society, and they are skilled for this type of interference. They would prefer not to have Zelenski there because in Europe he trusts him, and anyone who replaces him would be starting from scratch,” Lutsevych sentenced.
For all these reasons, which are mainly based on the current martial law, the Ukrainian President, unlike Putin (who has not been qualified as “illegitimate” and even less as “dictator”, such as ” and as the EU defends. “Ukraine is a democracy. Putin’s Russia is not“, ultimately emphasizes the EU spokesman.
